in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can set maintenance charges for irrigated Indian lands, and those payments go toward running the irrigation project. Indians with enough money must repay the government, and construction costs get divided among individual Indians based on how much benefit each one gets.

For land that can be irrigated under any irrigation system or reclamation project, the Secretary of the Interior may set maintenance charges. These charges must be paid as the Secretary directs, and the money must go toward maintaining that project or system. If the Indians involved have enough money to repay the government, those payments must be reimbursed, following rules the Secretary sets. The Secretary is also directed to divide up the cost of any irrigation project built for Indians and made reimbursable from tribal funds. That cost must be divided among individual Indians based on how much benefit each one receives from the project, as much as practical, following rules and conditions the Secretary sets.
